I can confirm that the problem still persists. With gnome-volume-manager-gthumb and my Canon 400D.
The error is: $ gnome-volume-manager-gthumb process 17313: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_path (path)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 1074. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library. libhal.c 920 : Couldn't allocate D-BUS message error: libhal_device_get_property_type: (null): (null) hal_get_property.c 178 : INFO: called LIBHAL_FREE_DBUS_ERROR but dbusError was not set. But, I can download the photos with: gphoto2 -P -- photo import does not work any more https://launchpad.net/bugs/78756 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
